Why must I suffer and expect her to see
Hope for a miracle, love, trust and honesty
Believe in the creator, who takes pain away
Cherries my soul, each day I pray

God, I would give her my all, if I could
Pride and honor, like a good child should

Oh Mother why I must cry?
Lost and lonely, not afraid to die
I hope you are happy, Mother goodbye.

I swear I saw you yesterday or maybe the day before
With the stars in your eyes and the moon on your hair
I wish I had touched you, instead stopped and stared

I hear the wind whisper your nightingale song
Opened my mouth to sing along
If only you saw the sky in my eyes
As it caught the last moonbeam before dawn arise

I swear I saw you yesterday or maybe the day before
With the stars in your eyes and the moon in your hair
I’ve cherries the moment because you were there.

What do you see when you look at me?
Am I the person you aspired to be?
Do I make you proud?
Or did I let you down?

If only I can see myself through your eyes
Everything stripped away with no disguise
This race of aspiration I’m running, am I winning?
Or do I have to start again from the beginning?

I want to make you proud
I want to declare this promise aloud
The solemn vow was spoken
And it can never be broken

I’ll give you one more glance
As through life’s rhythm you dance
Take my hand and follow my lead
As we dance to the tempo of life’s drum beat
